  1. Secure Core on Map

    When Secure Core countries selected in the list -> only show secure core connections on the map as well and connect to them through the map. The old Desktop Version had that.

  2. Kill switch should stay on with split tunneling

    I use Proton VPN at the router level, so my home Wi-Fi is already protected. On my laptop, I’d like to exclude my home network from the VPN using split tunneling without disabling the kill switch.

    Right now, having both the router VPN and the laptop VPN running creates a double VPN, which slows down all internet traffic while I’m at home. If split tunneling worked with the kill switch enabled, I could use my home network normally without the slowdown, and when I leave home and connect to any other network, the kill switch would still protect me—no manual…

  3. Maintain 'Open' or 'Moderate' NAT Type While Port Forwarding for Enhanced Multiplayer Gaming Experience"

    Why does enabling port forwarding change the NAT type from "Moderate" to "Strict"? It should either be "Open" or remain "Moderate." This distinction is crucial for many online P2P multiplayer games, such as GTA Online & many more, where a "Strict" NAT type severely hampers multiplayer functionality.

    I hope that in the future, Proton VPN can address this issue, allowing users to achieve an "Open" or "Moderate" NAT type while port forwarding is enabled.

    I hope this concern is taken seriously. Thank you.

  4. One-Click App Selection for VPN Split Tunneling

    I am requesting an enhancement to the current split tunneling feature by introducing the ability to select applications from a dynamic list of currently running processes. The existing method requires users to manually locate and select executable files from the system directory, which can be inefficient and cumbersome. Incorporating a user-friendly interface that displays running applications—similar to NordVPN’s approach—would streamline the process and significantly improve usability, particularly for less technically inclined users.

  5. make it possible to use on a Macbook Pro with a Brave and/or Safari browser

    I have been having increasing difficulties accessing websites with my Proton VPN turned on -- I updated the Brave browser this morning and suddenly I am denied access to nearly every website unless I turn off Proton VPN, which pretty much makes it useless.

  6. Desktop app should show an icon in the toolbar that shows open connection, connecting and disconnected

    Right now when reconnecting to the VPN the icon shows a pad lock (green) or a open pad lock (red) when connecting to the VPN.

    I would like to see it changed to show icons as:

    • Green Locked pad lock (Only once connected and data is passing through)
    • Gray Locked pad lock (Connecting to VPN)
    • Red Open pad lock (Not connected to VPN)

  8. Subject: False positive blocking ConvertKit

    Hi Proton Team,

    I’ve noticed that ConvertKit email links are being blocked by NetShield even when set to “Malware only.” Specifically, these domains fail to resolve while NetShield is active:
    ck.page

    convertkit-mail.com

    convertkit.com

    These are legitimate marketing/redirect domains used by ConvertKit, a major email service provider. With NetShield disabled, the links work fine.

    Could you please review and remove these domains from the blocklist so they are not blocked in Malware-only mode?

  9. Reconnect option for active profile.

    Please add an option to reconnect the active profile. Right now, if I'm using the Fastest Country profile, and I see that my server load is high, I have to disconnect and then connect again, leaving my network open for a second.

    I assume that a proper reconnect button would avoid any lapse in VPN coverage.

  10. iOS widget background: remove gradient

    I’m grateful for the iOS vpn widget, but the gradient background is an eyesore.

    Other apps use a consistent, flat background in their widgets, dark gray in dark mode, and white in light mode. This means widgets from different apps still look nice when arranged into a “dashboard” next to each other — until I add the Proton widget, with its gradient-fade background.

    I suppose the gradient is part of the Proton branding but it gets in the way here and should be skipped.

  11. Change the Firefox extension icon based on the split tunneling status on the current domain

    Currently, when the user has enabled split tunneling in the ProntonVPN extension for Firefox, the extension icon always remains green even on sites where the VPN is disabled. This can be confusing, especially if the user does not remember which sites they are using split tunneling on and which they are not. In my opinion, it would be much clearer if the icon showed a green padlock on sites where the VPN is active, and a red open padlock on sites where split tunneling disables the VPN.

    This request applies both to normal split tunneling and to Inverse Split Tunneling…

  12. "Disconnect" Button over hover profile in profile section

    In the profile section, when connected to a particular profile, it should show the button of "Disconnect" button when hovering over that same profile again. Right now, it shows the connect button again, even if it is connected to that profile.

  13. Update extension UI

    The extension UI seems to be working with the OG UI, it would be nice to have it updated to a more recent version with new features such as split tunneling being an inclusion list rather than exclusion so I have specific websites (like social media) where I want my vpn on and others I want it off.

  15. Support Usage across multiple local users on Mac

    Currently some Proton apps are unusable on a Mac with multiple local users. For instance if you have Mac User A and Mac User B both with Proton accounts (PA and PB)

    Mac User A installs Proton VPN and Proton Drive and logs into each with PA

    Mac User B uses "Switch Users" to log into their local Mac account and tries to use Proton Apps

    *Proton VPN: The app will open and Mac User B logs in with their Proton B account but the VPN will never establish a connection. It will say "connecting" but eventually time out with

  16. The ProtonVPN client works great; I wish I could get PVPN and pfSense working that well.

    The PVPN client performance is stellar, but I seek similar performance for whole home protection by setting up PVPN in a pfSense VirtualBox VM on a separate laptop which doesn't do much else. I've used PVPN via that setup for years. Running speed tests on the same machine as where the pfSense/PVPN VM is running, I have found to be disastrous: incredibly low throughput, no matter what PC it's running on.

    No VPN: 95Mbps. PVPN client: 85Mbps. PVPN+pfSense: 50Mbps (worst case). Those are download speeds given by OpenSpeedTest run from a different PC on the LAN than where the pfSense…

  18. Connect Proton VPN on more than one device

    Be able to connect to Proton VPN on more than one device with the free plan! I don't think its fair we have to pay to have my phone and laptop connected at the same time. This should be a standard security feature across all devices. This way I can browse the internet more safely by hiding my location. Please consider making Proton VPN available to connect to more than one device with the free plan!!

  19. Enable multiple countries for one profile

    Make is possible to choose a pool of countries for a profile with the app choosing the fastest server or randomly choosing one of the countries / servers in the pool.

    I usually use 5 different countries for my everyday cell phone usage. I like to switch them from time to time. It would be nice to have them in one profile, so that country changes automatically when reconnecting.

  20. Forward More Than One port

    Currently with dynamic forwarding a single port can be forwarded for P2P connections. Sometimes more than a single port is necessary (an obfuscated port). It would be helpful if we had the ability to forward multiple ports within the GUI rather than searching for third-party solutions.
